Who said a Grilled Cheese Sandwich can’t be healthy? This one is a bit trickier than your average Croque-monsieur but the end result is well worth it. And at just over 300 kcal per serving, it fits nicely into any healthy eater’s lunch box.

Assemble the sandwiches:

Spread 1 side of each slice of bread with 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise total (doing this before toasting helps ensure a golden brown and crispy grilled cheese).

Flip 2 slices over so mayo side is face down.

Divide cheese spread between these 2 slices. Top each slice with a piece of pancetta, half of sliced okra, half of bean sprouts, and a second slice of bread with the mayo on the outside of the sandwich.

Heat reserved skillet over medium-high.

Combine oil and butter, stir until butter is melted, and immediately add sandwiches.

Cover skillet with a lid or baking sheet to properly melt cheese; toast until bread is crispy and browned, 3–5 minutes per side.
